So a few months ago we did our last NYC trip, “see you in 2015” is what we said when leaving the city. Then in early September we received a request to come celebrate a birthday double header. Now the only issue with this request is the half marathon we were supposed to run that weekend. The decision was not that difficult and after a short drive we were in New York with a weekend of fun ahead of us.

This time we had brunch all over New York City. In fact, we covered three boroughs in two days. Oh and we also had brunch double headers, that’s right, double brunch, two brunches a day. The double brunch is a tricky one. Most people are full after one brunch, but two is the hard maximum we can do. Fortunately this weekend was a weekend dedicated to excess.

The 411 It’s summer and that means a trip down to New York – more specifically, Brooklyn. Brunch in Brooklyn is an adventure and we always manage to hit up unique and delicious brunches. As of recently, I have been putting down the camera while on vacation to simply enjoy brunch, but this time I just couldn’t help snapping some shots and sharing this gem.

The 411 Bar Marche entered my life many years ago before I began reviewing brunch places. During one of my first trips to New York, there were 4 of us exploring SOHO and we came across this little place. We were there just as they opened the doors so we decided to try it and we loved it. Now, fast forwarding to a couple of years later, a bunch of us were winding down our bender weekend in NYC and we ducked into Bar Marche to see if we could replicate the magic.

Diner – A Brooklyn Experience

The 411

A few years ago, a couple of my friends and I went down to New York city for New Year’s Eve and had dinner in this street car turned restaurant in Brooklyn. I loved the food and the décor and kind of wish they did brunch. On a recent trip to New York, my friend booked us a table at this place that is supposed to have an amazing brunch. I was excited to have some New York city brunch and I trust my friend to pick a great spot so after a weekend of partying we made it to Diner, and it turned out it was the same spot!

Pastis – Culinary Excellence in NYC

The 411

On a recent trip to New York we ran into some weather issues, and by weather issues we mean Hurricane Irene. We had some ambitious brunch exploration plans but the day before the hurricane was scheduled to make landfall, we had to make the tough decision of heading home, but not before we went for brunch on the way out. I LOVE brunch in New York especially when I get a chance to check out a spot that is well regarded in New York food circles. New York has so many options for food and there are always new spots popping up everyday so doing a foodie brunch at least once was necessary.

Egg – Brooklyn stand up

The 411

On a recent trip to New York we ended up staying in Brooklyn and felt the need to explore the Williamsburg area to see what there was to feed our stomach in the early morning hours. The first day my suggestion was outvoted and the majority’s choice produced a disastrous experience at a place that I refuse to review since reliving the memory will only cause me pain. Now after that experience we went to Egg on the second day and it was amazing, helping to suppress the painful memory of the morning before. (more…)
